Hello friends. All is well here in Kentucky. It's been a while. Still have my flock.....a few anyway...............28 I think...a broody hen....and a bator full of eggs. And the runaway if you can count her..... Breeds include Wyandotte, Delawares, Mutts, and the dreaded br's. Hope everybody is...
Anybody seen Roger? She is on the run again. Last seen standing outside a Tractor Supply store beside a sign that said "Will Lay For Scratch".....hope nobody got conned out of their scratch.
Golden Laced Wyndotte.....two of them........Silver Partridge Americana Bantam Mix ?.....whatever I have two of them too .....and eat your heart out Cheeka I got a Silke....one of them.......probably be a rooster....lol. Roger is going to flip out when she finds out what is coming soon
Update:.....my other chick didn't make it out of the shell alive. Got late and I went to bed expecting to find it hatched in the morning. It was able to zip the shell all the way around but not the membrane. So I was in the situation of having a single chick.....not good says...

Good luck Cheeka. Congrats to you MC. Hello everybody. Just finished canning green beans. Are green beans any good with rooster? Disappointed with the day 10 candle of eggs......
Four or five days I think. The roo is a couple years old. The raw eggs I crack open from the frig got me wondering. Not many "bullseye" spots on yolks I checked. However I could be wrong. I will give it a little more time and candle again
